The Amen Break: A history
| This is one of my favourite things ever discovered online. Just came across it again, by accident, and it mesmerised me anew. Drummer or no, music geek or no... This is great history, and a great portrait of the decontextualising process that manufactures pop culture and reinvents experience into something new, and makes us question notions of authenticity, originality, piracy and creativity. |

post a commentHey Professor, i was about to launch into some work but thought i'd dabble first. Twenty minutes later i still haven't done any work but i'm all the wiser. While my editor may not thank you, i shall.
Hey Houston, I found I couldn't get the feeling that I'd heard this guys voice before out of my head. It turns out that snippets of this are sampled in Wax Taylor's Once Upon a Past from the album Hope and Sorrows. Cheers, Karen
@kthull: Thanks, Karen. Had no clue. You've introduced me to a new one! --h
